Welcome to a new technical series devoted to explaining how to do things in the Feed The Beast MindCrack mod pack for Minecraft. In each episode, I'll try to focus on a different mod, machine, or task and give you the information you need to do these things on your own. I am not an expert by any means, and you'll likely be directed to the nearest wiki if you ask any detailed questions.

In part four of what was supposed to be a single part episode, we cover some improvements to the tree farm's automatic charcoal factory. You see, after learning that some things in Feed The Beast can only use real coal and never charcoal, I was suddenly paranoid about using coal to power my turtle army. With these new improvements, in theory I will always have all the charcoal I can use. Nothing can stop me now!

Minecraft is a sandbox construction game where you can build anything you can imagine. It also has scary monsters, like creepers who tend to want to destroy what you have built. The game is available at http://www.Minecraft.net
